Where is everyone, this place seems deader then a dead.....um...thing.

grin .. it goes in waves. this is why when you were instituting a "thou shalt post in a certain number of days, or risk the wrath of the board suspension" that we were all like "nani?!" right now is a quiet time.

Ah well nevermind.....Guess I should do the spring cleaning theres about 10 new accounts and not one of em's posted. Let you n me paint the town a bright colour Lyon baby!

Anything that takes your fancy! Lets do this thang!

woot! i'd better take a shower first. and make up... can't forget make up. clothing! /me dashes away to get ready.

Blame it on the first week back to school.

Or just school... Junior...level...classes...killing...me...no...spare...time...

It's the first week back for everything. School, activities, summer is over. Anyway, wake me up when it's June again.

Awe, for us housewives it's back to free time! Three mornings a week with 2 hrs off (that's 1:40 at home!). Only one kid at home most of the day (and a mad rush at 3:30 for snacks, homework, notes to/from teacher, and cooking). Just gotta finish that hard-drive clean, and it's on to the fics. And the four baby-gifites I'm behind in. And bringing stuff back to the main floor after the renovations. And those two closets that are all that are between me and one floor being totally House Beautiful. And about a dozen errands I put off all summer. Productive Procrastination. Gotta love it. Cricket

Just to add insult to injury, the last few days of my Net access has been littered with service blackouts thanks to the damn strike. Some part of me will actually be happy not to put up with their crap after Wednesday. Katse

No offense, but I'm *really* glad that Texas doesn't have unions. I'm thinking that those are bad, no matter their motive.

All depends on who runs them and how and why. They go through phases, like every other group. Sometimes, rabble-rousers who convince others they can "get things done" rise to the top -- forgetting that 25c/hour raise won't pay for 3 weeks on UI for the strike. On the other hand, if the union and company work well together, they both want the same thing -- a company that will make money and employ them for a long time. And it evens the playing field for companies that do treat employees well and those that would rather not. As the economy changes, people have to adjust, and sometimes that means that your skills are less valuable. And the rules that are in place to prevent the boss for showing major favoratism to his son can also stop everyone from getting rid of the dead wood. So, win some, lose some.

Nesting.. nesting.. Plus school year just started.. still trying to get back into the routine..

Well I'm out of a job in two weeks, time to start my business Empire I think. .....mwuahahah!

Out of a job? Is that by choice, or have you been downsized?

Aye .. *pet pet* whichever way..such changes are almost always stressful... But... starting up your own business empire sounds great to me.. Wishing you the best of success.. Yuki

Cricket sits on couch beside Cep. Silently hands him the beverage of his choice and commiserates.

thank you thank you Don't worry too much I just hope the thing gets off the ground but I'm gonna be cool about it all and hopefully everything should be groovy baby

Lots of luck Cep! If you can handle something like this site, you can do ANYTHING!!! *Starts worshipping the ground Cep walks on* LOL!

SOrry to hear about the loss of job but I wish you best of luck with the business venture.

So what's your amazing new business? Has someone finally found a use for furballs? I'd love to get some money from those damn disgusting things...at least might make me feel a bit less nauseous when I clean them up. Katse

Have you seen the episode of Ren & Stimpy where Ren discovers he can make money from Stimpy's hairballs? I can't remember anything else about it, such as what on earth was so valuable about them, because of the sheer revoltingness of the rest of the episode. Funny though. It wasn't as horrible as the one where Ren lost all his teeth, which I just can't watch. Eeeewwwww....

Ren & Stimpy is wack. hehe

Speaking of wack ....My life has plenty of it at the moment...trying had to get rid of the wack thats derailed me for the past month and a half...so far..its been..
